child are settled and comfortable in the arrangement of the new school year. i would like to take this opportunity to give you news about the art project that the eighth grade students and i will be working on during this unit. my name is molly atkinson and i am a new middle school teacher here at msae in kauai. i feel that it is important for you to know that my approach to classroom management is inspired by maharishis principle of ideal teaching. i believe that it is the most positive method for guiding our students education. i also believe that by keeping the lessons interesting, the classroom will be a creative environment for the students to explore the artistic process. my experience with the class this week makes me believe that the students and i will have a fruitful and caring experience in our time together. the students first project is a three-part work that begins with the creation of a collage (拼貼畫). a pencil drawing of the collage will follow. the third part of

hong from hangzhou, the provincial capital, who died in hospital on march 27, had the virus.hong was infected on march 7 while working in neighboring jiangsu province. he returned home on march 18, according to the zhejiang health department.the other patient, surnamed yang, is a 67-year-old man. he developed a cough and fever on march 25 and was admitted to hospital on tuesday.none of the people who came into close contact with the patients have developed symptoms of the flu, the health department said.on sunday, two men in shanghai died from h7n9. a woman in anhui province and four men in jiangsu province remain in critical condition, which makes a large number of people scared to death.all patients had fevers and coughs in the early stages before developing pneumonia(肺炎) and breathing difficulties, chinas health authorities said.experts say genetic analysis shows that the h7n9 virus can be treated with tamiflu, an antiviral drug that may slow the spread of influenza（流感，家畜流行性感冒） in the body.wang xianjun, head of the shandong provincial center of disease control, said h7n9 is sensitive to neuraminidase-inhibiting medicine such as tamiflu, qilu evening

died from h7n9 d. people who came into close contact with the patients of h7n9c to me, the ocean is our greatest wilderness. i love swimming in it , surfing its waves, watching it from shore and thinking about all the life living unseen under the surface.when i take my little kids to check out tide pools, were overjoyed when we find a sea star or some shellfish. lately, though, ive noticed a change in my favorite pools: there are more sea grasses and fewer animals with shells. i cant help feeling these small changes portend something more troubling about our oceans. it matches what scientists are telling us: our oceans are being troubled by carbon dioxide that threatens corals, colorful fish, salmon, sea otters, even whales. our oceans are facing a major change.every hour, a million tons of carbon dioxide from cars, factories and power plants rain down on the worlds oceans. carbon pollution brings about a chemical reaction that turns sea water more acidic (酸的) and takes away things important for sea animals . some of us are already feeling the effects of this growing crisis（危機(jī)）. shellfish farmers in the pacific northwest have reported a decrease in natural and farmed oysters(牡蠣). just this week, a new study proved the link between the huge reduction in the numbers of oysters and ocean acidification. as polar waters become more acidic, alaskan fishermen are troubled by the future of smaller fish. without action, ocean acidification will have a disastrous influence on the food chain, affecting not only sea life but the people who depend on it for food and their living. already, our oceans have become 30 percent more acidic since preindustrial times, and it gets worse every day. we can stop this frightening dream, but only if we act now. thats why the center for biological diversity has started a petition (請(qǐng)?jiān)笗? requesting president obama and the environmental protection agency to develop a plan to deal with ocean acidification. decisive action can save sea life as we know it. now it isnt too late to save our oceans and sea life. with immediate action to reduce carbon dioxide release we can start taking important steps today to deal with this disastrous situation. join me in our petition calling for a national plan to save our oceans.the authors recent visits to the tide pool brought her _ .a. happiness b. anger c. concern d. comfort58. the underlined word “portend” in paragraph 3 probably means _ . a. predict b. prevent c. replace d. reduce59. what the author worries about most is _ . a. the harm of sea grasses b. carbon pollution in the sea c. that the petition may be turned down d. how fishermen can make a living in the future60. what is the main purpose of the text ? a. to inform. b. to educate. c. to persuade . d. to instruct.d have you ever hated anyone? well, probably you dont really hate them. but you do get angry the moment you think of them. if you dont get out of the anger, it may turn into bitterness(積怨). bitterness can come about when we cant forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. someone might say or do something that hurts us. but we keep it deep inside instead of working through the anger. before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. the bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurt us. we may think we are hurting that person, but we are really only hurting ourselves. bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body. it can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure. bitterness can stop us from concentrating on important things. instead, we waste time thinking about how we have been hurt. finally, holding on to bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members. no one enjoys being around an angry, negative person for very long. author chuck swindoll once said, “ life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.” that means when someone hurts you, your response is more important than what happened. you can choose to let go of hurt. you can also choose to hold on to hurt, which results in bitterness. if you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.stop making excuses for it. you may feel you have a fight to be angry. you may even secretly enjoy making the other person look sad. but in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.forgive and forget it. the best thing you can do is to forgive and forget. you probably cant totally put the act out of your mind. but you can decide to forgive the other person. let it go and move on. youll enjoy better health and peace of mind.61. if we dont release anger,_ .a. we will always be criticized and hurt b. we will not blame others for any reasonc. a bitter feeling will develop in our mind d. we will not be particular ab
